A long read.
I basically want to spare the Lude the winter salts, keep it in a safe driveway. Where I park it down here means I have to rotate the car lest only one side gets a UV battering. Pin dents in our car park are unavoidable, just a question of when.
So for a workhorse I found this:

2005 Honda HRV, 4WD 1.6 VTEC, (D16W5 engine)

It's essentially done 2k miles a year, a touch over at 29k. Full service history, cam belt change at 24k.

No rust issues, Alloys need a proper refurb, and a couple of pin dents.
Inside is very clean:

Seats are in excellent condition and the fact that it still has the OEM CD player in-situ suggests a more mature owner?
Plans? I've yet to see it in the flesh until I can head back North. In the meantime it'll be underside cleaned and freshly sealed, plus fill the cavities!
After that, if anyone fancies a 2005 Honda CD player

I seriously have to sort out the audio and the Alloys are rather bubbly.
I'll let you know how it drives when I finally get up north.
The multi car insurance was a breeze to sort and not too bad.
